lyrics

SWEPT AWAY

I tried to smash my fist
Through the marching drum
My knuckles bled
But nothing was done

Swept away
By the deafening crowd
Swept away
By the roar so loud

A lone wolf howls on Main Street
But nobody hears
Coyotes prowl suburbia
In backyards
Without fear

The tin soldier army
Marches down the street
The staccato rap
Of heels on concrete

Swept away
By the in-step feet
Swept away
By the steady beat

A lone wolf howls on Main Street
But nobody hears
Coyotes prowl suburbia
In backyards
Without fear


A lone wolf howls on Main Street
But nobody hears
Coyotes prowl in the moonlight
I saw one
in my mirror
